Recipe Introduction

Because it is a southern traditional recipe and said to be one she enjoyed, we first used this in honor of Juliette Gordon Low for World Thinking Day 2007. Cadette/Junior Girl Scout Troop 651 represented "El Dia De Los Muertos" as a part of the World Festivals theme. This Mexican festival is a day of honoring the dead. We chose to honor Girl Scout Founder Daisy Low. A very good recipe!
